Definitely no air leak (new seals last year and leak test shows all OK)
Plugs are new and OK (but I have ordered new HT leads to try)
Fuel pump comes on as normal at start and makes the same noise as usual.
I dont have access to an HD fuel pressure test kit so ordering up the bits to make one and can then see pressure.
Fuel in the tank is c 3 months old and smells OK.
Battery is newish and tested as healthy and turns the engine over with vigour.
TPS on a fully closed throttle is set at 5.1.
Engine has less than 10k miles and was owned by a 80 year old very well known engineer before me – I have had it 3 years and when it was running it was full of go – so I think engine mechanicals are OK as it was OK when it last run 2 months ago.
Don’t have a compression tester that will fit – will see if any mates have something that will.
If it is a fuel supply issue – what sensor would be picking this up and telling the ECU?
The workshop manual has other tests and will work my way through these.
Best regards Paul.
